To all whom it may concern:

Be it Known that I, ll lARTIN SCHWIND, e subgect of the Emperor of Germany, and residing at Thelheini, Saxony, Germany", have invented certain new and useful improvements in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the loL lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to bottle stoppers; end. the object thereof is to provide e bottle stopper in a manner as hereinafter set forth, which when removed will become damaged, es Well as damaging the neck of the bottle, thereby preventing the remployment l.

,hottle or the stopper.

enceis had to the accompanying (ire.

pro nity to they point where "cl merges into the body portion is no on inner seal 3 termed oi suit ings, wherein is shown the preferred l l i the foregoing and other c3232 2; view invention consists of the n: street-ion, combination and errengen tarts hereinafter more snecificelly and illustrated in the accompanying inent the invention, but it is to. he one 37* stood that changes, variations and "int," tions can be resorted to which come i the scope of the claims hereunto epp in doscrioingv the invention in detail I erein like characters denote corr o throughout the several views, 2:

Figure 1 is e vertical eeotionel-v bottle neck showing the adaptation nection therewith oi & stopper in eccci With this invention, the steppe shown in section; Fig. 2 is a se 65" of Fig. 1, end, Fig. is inv J H Referring to-ithe drawings by cherecters, l denotes a pert of the tion of e bottle 1, the bottle neck hev inner face at the outer end thereof hove es et 1* so esto forms seat for the on .2, which may be of any suitable mete substantially conical in contour.

' Within the neck of the bottle and having a groove 9 in its ed in t. is mounted it resilient Washer 10 so snug contact will hed between the is 3 face of the neck and the inner sealing 1:; cans Extending through the outer seal is spindle theving e screw-threaded lower end e which is adapted to en age in the screw threaded socket 4: formedlhy a protuberance F Whiol secured to the inner seal 3. Connected to wheel 7 M eilsp ing 2% connectedet one end to the d at its'othcr end bearing against prevented from beck rotemedium of e sprin dog 11, to engage the rate .et teeth L inner face of the outer o eing carriedby the spindle end engaging the teeth 4; beers upon the outer i the medium of en enlarge end it Wing-nut 13 which a t rotating of the spindle requires.

i need in the following mon- 'L. connectedto the pro-- or er seal 3 and the letter i the neck of the bottle -'on between the outer Wthermore piece the on 1 ion. By such operabottle isclosed. if it be bottle the spindle i is 1 which forces the SCEQTW- of deegoer into the socket once of the inner 7 during such ,egeinst the inner bottle end as the he spindle it cuts rot-sting the st stated the spricnzs until they i not only acts as tron of the neck with the v 15 bottle, but also acts as e :nt the chips out from the re neck by the seal 7 from felt of the bottle. When inner is, cl t.

spindle 2 furthermore Citf- "211g a bracket 4 provided With face of the neck 1 through the medium of e' tion of breaking t had by turning the spindle 4, the latter .ting away ofthe neck of the bottle, however, is such 'as not to prevent the bottle being emptied through the neck or to prevent the placing in of a cork f0 ordinary purposes.

, The springs 6 act as a means to retain the stopper within the neck of the bottle until the springs are broken by their being forced towards each other in a manner as herein before stated.- By such an arrangement it is evident that the inner face of the neck of the bottle will be cut b the wheel 7 as the operaie springs 6 can only be carrying the cutting wheel therewith. After the springs 6 have become broken the stopper as an entirety can be withdrawn from the neck.

What I claim is- 1. A stopper comprising an inner and an outer seal, spring members carried by the inner seal adapted to engage with the bottle neck for retaining the seals therein, a rotatable connection between the seals, and a tension cutting device carried by the connection. p I

2. A stopper comprising an inner and an outer seal, spring members carried by the innor seal adapted to engage with the bottle neck for retaining the seals therein, a rotatable connection between the seals, a tension cutting device carried by the connection, and means carried by the connection and engaging with the outer seal to prevent back rotation of the connection.

3. A bottle stopper comprising an inner and an outer seal, a rotatable spindle extending through the outer seal and provided with an enlargement bearing against the exterior face of the outer seal, said spindle having its inner end connected. to the inner seal, springscarried by the inner seal and adapted to engage in the bottle neck to prevent the'withdrawal of the seals, and a tension cutting device carried by the spindle.

the seals, a tension cutting 4. A bottle stopper comprising an inner and an outer seal, a rotatable spindle extending. through the outer seal and provided with an enlargement bearing against the exterior face of the outer seal, said spindle having its inner end connected to'the inner seal, springs carried by the inner seal and adapted to engage in the bottle neck to prevent the withrawal of the seals, a tension cutting device L through said outer seal and having thescr'eW- threaded inner end engaging in the socket, said spindle having its outer end with an enlargement bearing against the outer seal, and a plurality of spring members carried by the inner seal. and adapted to engage in the bottle neck'to prevent Withdrawal of the seals.

ovided 6. A. bottle stopper comprisin an inner l seal provided with a screw-three: ed socket, an outer seal, a rotatable spind e extending throu 11 said outer seal and 'havi a screwthreafled'inner end engaging in the socket,

provided said spindle having its'outer end with an enlargement bearing against theouter seal, a plurality of spring members ear-;

ried by the inner seal and adapted to engage in the bottle neck to prevent withdrawal of the seals, and a tension cutting device carried by the spindle.
